The source continued, “The policeman is from Ajiwe station. Barr, her husband, was operating the vehicle. Omobolanle and her spouse were seated up front.
“The policeman instructed them to pull into a parking spot, and they required the car in front to move so they could pull in properly. Immediately, the policeman fired a close-range shot directly into her chest. The remaining police officers on duty there fled after learning what had occurred.
“After a time, some police officers arrived and transported her body to the Yaba mortuary without getting permission from her family. Her family has now discovered the location where her body was transferred.
